Willis Whitfield was, by all accounts, a simple and humble man. Raised on a cotton farm in West Texas, he knew how to work hard and solve problems, from fixing tractors and other machinery, to inventing equipment when he couldn’t find something that fit his needs. That ingenuity led Whitfield, a longtime physicist at Sandia, […]

Gemini CLI Tips and Tricks.

This guide covers ~30 pro-tips for effectively using Gemini CLI for agentic coding

Gemini CLI is an open-source AI assistant that brings the power of Google’s Gemini model directly into your terminal. It functions as a conversational, “agentic” command-line tool - meaning it can reason about your requests, choose tools (like running shell commands or editing files), and execute multi-step plans to help with your development workflow.

In practical terms, Gemini CLI acts like a supercharged pair programmer and command-line assistant. It excels at coding tasks, debugging, content generation, and even system automation, all through natural language prompts. Before diving into pro tips, let’s quickly recap how to set up Gemini CLI and get it running.

An open-source framework for multi-cloud cost visibility. Extendable with dlt. - ssp-data/cloud-cost-analyzer

Multi-cloud cost analytics platform combining AWS Cost and Usage Reports (CUR), GCP billing data, and Stripe revenue metrics. Built with dlt for data ingestion, DuckDB for storage, and Rill for visualization.

OCR Arena is a free playground for testing and evaluating leading foundation VLMs and open source OCR models side-by-side. Upload a document, measure accuracy, and vote for the best models on a public leaderboard.

You can submit text posts and links, just like the real HN. But on HN Simulator, all of the comments are generated by LLMs + generate instantly.

The best way to use it (IMHO) is to submit a text post or a curl-able URL here: https://news.ysimulator.run/submit. You don’t need an account to post.

When you do that, various prompts will be built from a library of commenter archetypes, moods, and shapes. The AI commenters will actually respond to your text post and/or submitted link.

I really wanted it to feel real, and I think the project mostly delivers on that. When I was developing it, I kept getting confused between which tab was the “real” HN and which was the simulator, and accidentally submitted some junk to HN. (Sorry dang and team – I did clean up after myself).

The app itself is built with Node + Express + Postgres, and all of the inference runs on Replicate.

The agent grounds its feedback by searching arXiv, so it works best in fields like AI where research is freely published there. It’s an experimental tool, but I hope it helps you with your research.
